Of the highschool students surveyed, 65% of them reported that they preffered attending football games to attending soccer matches. Of the students surveyed, 45% were males. If gender is independent of sports preference, what is the probabiltiy that a randomly-chosen student is a male who prefers watching football to watching soccer?

If A and B are independent, P(A and B) = P(A) times P(B)





So .65 X .45 = .2925 or 29.25%
